Dell D830 does not recognize SSD

Dell D830 does not recognize SSD. this is the solution:
Re: d830 laptop does not recognize new solid state hard drive I think it's more likely the SSD is 7 mm in height, where this system is designed for a 9.5 mm hard drive. The connector on the drive is likely not mating with the mainboard connector. An inexpensive shim should fix the problem. There's no reason an SSD won't work with this system - these have completely standard SATA interfaces, and simply appear as a hard drive would -- once they're connected and recognized by the system.
This is the type of adapter you'll need: a pad from amazon.com

how to create a bootable Ubuntu USB?

my experience showed me Rufus is more reliable to use. so I tried and failed. then search out and find this post. initally I used iso format in the last step. not I used DD format. try it again. I select DD format and it still did not work.

  1. How to Create a Bootable Linux USB Flash Drive, the Easy Way
  2. now I try to use universal installer and follow this post. at least it has no much choice as Rufus met. whole generation process is smooth. I try to boot my HP machine, it still got the same issue: kernel panic-not syncing: attempted kill init!

    but I tried on Dell T1700 machine, it works. so I think it is machine related. I did search on google, find a post relating this issue with HP machine. So it may be hardware compatible issue.
    later on, I started to use command dd to clone my hard drive. so I tried to boot from this Ubuntu USB. if I used Legacy mode to boot from this USB, it did not work out. so I reboot again, this time I used UEFI mode-> USB. Ubuntu started up. I followed instructions to clone hard drive: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb .
    need to record my result here:

    Now I want to try Linx Mint first with Universal USB installer. then try Knoppix.

    I used Rufus + Linux Min + MBR + FAT32, then tried on HP machine. it failed again.

    so I try Rufus +Linx Mint +GPR+FAT 32, then try on my Dell XPS 15(UEFI). see if it works. it turns out my XPS 15 boot to Linux Mint first mage, then freeze there. so it failed too.

    so I now try Universal USB Installer + Linux Mint to see if it works on my XPS 15(UEFI+Windows10).on UUI webpage, it tells you clearly that it does not work on UEFI because it says oMBR only. GPT does not work.

    I try Rufus +Linux Min +GPR + NTFS. see if it works here. it is based on another post below from Thomas Krenn.

    my last try will be YUMI + FAT32 +GPR +Linux Mint. but from YUMI site, it has a special note for UEFI version: Important YUMI UEFI info: You'll need to disable secure boot (if it's enabled). Drive must be Fat32 formatted if you want to UEFI boot.


    from the first post below, we note that
    A UEFI system can't boot from NTFS, only FAT32. This means if you're booting from a USB stick to install the OS, you need one formatted with FAT32. See my recent FAQ of 11/29/12, "Q: How do I create a bootable USB stick that can install to a UEFI system?"

Dell xps 13 -9343 does not wake up

Dell xps 13 -9343 does not wake up. from users' post, there are some good solutions.

Re: xps 13 9370 wont wake from sleep
@manwaringshorts:
I checked with Dell website and they don't have the newest Intel drivers for download there. Can you try to update your drivers directly from Intel website? It should be version 24.20.100.6194.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/126789/Intel-UHD-Graphics-620
After that you need to restart your notebook. I didn't notice the issue with the blank display so far with this new one so maybe it can help you.

to user powercfg, I need to start powershell first, then run this powercfg /a command

Re: xps 13 9370 wont wake from sleep
I believe that the hibernation is disabled as a default option.
@winston_smyth: I noticed 2 various issues here. Can you check which sleep states are enabled in your notebook? You can do it from the command prompt. Press Win button and type "cmd" and run the command prompt. Then type into the console "powercfg /a" and paste output here or let me know which mode you have active, eg. "Standby (S0 Low Power Idle)" or "Standby (S3)", can be even deep sleep mode. but generally its short is "S3". Also can you tell me what version of graphics driver do you have? Right click on the desktop, choose "Intel Graphics Settings" from the context menu and then from the app "Options and Suport". Please check "Driver Version".
For the background of these things, I have 2 various issues.
1. When is disabled "connected standby" then it hangs always when it resumes from standby (S3).
2. When "connected standby" is active, then I have random hangs when the notebook should wakeup. I have installed Intel drivers from Dell's support page (23.x.x.x) and recently I updated to the newest one 24.x.x.x offered by Intel. And these random freezes so far disappeared but I can't confirm it for sure.
Just hard shutdown through the button works in both cases.
UPDATE: Regarding the second issue, I forgot to mention that I checked memory dumps after the halt and restart. I found that is related to this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/bug-check-0x19c--win32k-power-wat...

this post from Reddit
On my XPS 13 9370, only connected standby works, and is the default.
I've tried disabling connected standby to work around other problems, but then I end up with black screen like you.
Connected standby is configured with the following registry entry:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\CsEnabled
Value Function Sleep state description 1 Connected standby S0 Low Power Idle 0 Normal standby S3 To see your currently usable standby mode, run in cmd.exe: powercfg /a

Dell D830 overheating

Dell D830 overheating. one post from my google search. it just needs to clean heatsink. no need to change motherboard.

Re: Dell Latitude D830 getting to hot and throttling CPU clock
Hi, I had the Dell service at my place today. They replaced the heatsink and the motherboard, the latter because I also hat a problem with the VGA out port. The vent on the heatsink was really clogged with dust (it looked similar to the photo Adrian posted) so I guess that was the real problem and I guess cleaning would have helped even without replacing the heatsink. Good to remember for the time when the warranty expires. I tested now 20 minutes of 80 % CPU load with CPU Killer and CPU-Z showed constant CPU clock around 2.4 GHz for all the time, so I guess the problem is solved. Kind regards, Robert

Just FYI, in case you are interested.
I have the same Latitude D830 but with Vista that I've owned since 2007. I have been having performance problems lately. Ran a diagostic on the CPU fan and found that it is bad. I am getting it replaced and expecting that to fix my problems. You may confirm that your fan is OK, but it sounds like it is. But I think I was having the same issue with the CPU clock speed getting reduced. I didn't confirm this and may try now just to see what I can learn. Good luck.

how to add Windows 10 into my domain?

this is the note for me to join XPS 13 (Windows 10 ENT) into my domain.

    a good reference article to read.

  1. How To Join Your Windows 10 PC to a Domain?
  2. on server side(Windows 2008), do these things:

  3. on Windows 2008 server, add computer Beta into this domain.
  4. add domain user and set up password.
  5. on laptop side, set up these parameters

  6. set up computer name as specified on server: Beta
  7. set up ip address and DNS server names
  8. following the first article, on step to fire System tab and try to join domain, no such button. but, on Settings->About->System Info->change settings->network ID, we can finish these set up on laptop. (from my old note, control panel->system security->system->change settings can also do the same work.)
  9. when join the domain, type user name and password I just set up on server side.
    domain name: intra.nutec.com
    the computer find this computer name on intra.nutec.com domain. so it is good. but access is denied. so at this step, I need to put server administrator and password in. then it moves to next step. now it is time to add domain user name on this machine. when I added domain user at this step as standard user, no need to input password. but it requested to restart. I think at log in step, I need to put domain user name and password.
  10. to use files on server, we need to turn on network discovery service. from network and sharing center->change advanced settings->turn on network discovery and printer etc.
  11. last step is to map server shared drive to lap top. use Windows key + E. look at this PC related top menu, find map drive item.
